No idea what's available on bandcamp, but Storm is their overall best. The split with Jarnvidr is great too.

 

[rms]

Just Drengskapr -- i'll look around for Storm

In the last decade, what's your best 'new' black metal band?

Panopticon and Deafheaven are my top two. Panopticon is on a role of releasing really good to great albums while the last two Deafheaven records have been phenomenal.

Others worth mentioning:

Wolves in the Throne Room- their discography is a little more up and down but Celestial Lineage and Two Hunters are masterful.

Aosoth- has been on the ascent for a while now and IV was exquisite

Thoth- only two records, but I love them both

Arizmenda- really great earily stuff, but recent records have been a bit of a letdown. Phenomenal live.

Volahn- AqAbAl is one of the most interesting black metal albums in recent history.

Turdus Merula- One of the best at keeping the mystical dimensions of the second wave alive

Wędrujący Wiatr- beautiful, depressive, in the vein of Drudkh

 

[rms]

Panopticon I've found inconsistent too..hasn't clicked for me, will slowly work on the others

 

[Krow]

It's pretty hard to believe a band named "Turdus" isn't nearly the shittiest sounding thing he posted.

Deafheaven

actually not terrible. ive noticed through the years we don't really match up in BM but these deserve more than a youtube listen

 

[Einherjar86]

I'm a little late to the game... but holy shit, In the Woods... is back!

Listening to the new album now, pretty fucking good so far. Although I admit, I was always a sucker for In the Woods..., love their sound.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

eh I think there's too much filler on it to be honest...

Damn has anyone head the new Fen? These are stellar compositions. I don't understand how some bands can even think of coming up with some of the shit they do. Killer stuff right here.

 

[CiG]

Some black metal I have been listening to a lot lately.

 

[rms]

their album was OK but I hit their EP up and I think its a little more solid

 

[CiG]

Yeah that actually tends to be the consensus among their fans. For whatever reason I prefer their album.

I only listened to it once and it sounded like standard Fen fare (get it), which isn't a bad thing. I'll def give it more listens to see if it is indeed an above average release by them.
